Former Indian High Commissioner to Pakistan and historian T.C.A. Raghavan joins Dr. Ayesha Siddiqa to examine the future of India-Pakistan relations. Drawing on his diplomatic experience in Islamabad and his book The People Next Door, Raghavan explains why restoring trade could help stabilize relations—but cannot transform them without political dialogue and action against terrorism. He also discusses Pakistan’s civil-military dynamics, confidence-building measures, the legacy of the Mumbai attacks, and whether outside powers such as the US, China or UK can facilitate peace. Can the two neighbours move beyond old patterns and find a new opening for dialogue? Note: This interview was first aired on 12 Feb 2023 on Naya Daur TV.
